Who will take home the Mustard Yellow Belt this year? Will Joey Chestnut retain and win the contest for a fifth straight year? Will someone from the field unexpectedly rise up and pull off the upset? Due to an ongoing contract dispute with Major League Eating, multiple-time champion Takeru Kobayashi is out of the contest for the second year in a row, this time unofficially competing from a rooftop bar. The festivities start at Noon on ESPN.
Even though Chestnut is a beast and will probably win, I'm an Eric 'Badlands' Booker mark.

Maybe. Supposedly, it's something about if he signs a contract with them, he can't compete in other events that aren't officially under their umbrella.

So whats the over under Kobayashi will try to rush the stage again? Apparently he's doing a live satellite internet feed of him eating hot dogs at the same time as the people in the competition. |

Chestnut might get 57, but he's struggling today. The temperatures and humidity are holding him back.

They had a women's title this year- Sonya "Black Widow" Thomas won.

Apparently Kobayashi managed 69 hot dogs at his unofficial spot.

I caught this live for the 2nd year in a row. Trust me, it's something you have to experience live at some point in your life. I love the foreign tourists who are super serious about their competitive eating who HATE Chestnutt. It's really a great time.
Also, I met Virgil (Wrestling Superstar) there immediately after.
